(excerpts from Day by Day with Charles Swindoll)

Be silent and listen to the voice of God.

Pause from a hectic schedule to be refreshed in spirit.

Accentuate the joy of God’s provisionthrough thanksgiving.

End the day by reflecting on the Lord’s faithfulness.

Wishing all of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!May you be surrounded by family &friends to warm your heart.

Sweet Rett~ I'm strolling in to catch up and especially to wish you and your loved ones a Happy Thanksgiving!It's such a wonderful time to stop and reflect on all those we cherish and are truly grateful for.Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to visit and leave feeling inspired!

Even though our Thanksgiving is very small in number, with hubby and son (we don't count the cat cause she doesn't like turkey). We don't scrimp on the menu...from appetizers to desserts with several carb loaded dishes in between! We will be enjoying tryptophan playoffs too!

Rett, this was just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing not only that beautiful musical score and accompanying photographs, but that wonderful piece form Chuck Swindoll whom I dearly love! Is he not THE BEST?

Here's wishing that you and yours have a most marvelous Thanksgiving and all the blessings your hearts and lives can hold.

Love your blog....Taking a few hours to read some favorite blogs...one of my favorite things to do and something I have done very little of in recent days. I have some wonderful families featured on my holiday blog...http://grammyababychangeseverything.blogspot.com

Thank you so much for the blog advice. I would never dream someone would use that information to do something bad, but you're right...we live in a world where we have to be cautious. I'm going back to all my previous posts to make sure there is nothing with too much information. I have the blog for fun but it is also a way for my husband's family to be updated on our adventures during Megan's, our youngest, senior year. Thank you again for the advice...Please come back and let me know if you see anything else that needs changing. By the way, hope you enjoy the soup! Anita

About Me

I'm a critical care RN & was married 28 yrs to a warm & funny family practice physician, who passed away 2-7-15. I wish we had found each other sooner, so we could have loved each other longer.
I have 1 daughter & am called "Nana Rett" by her 3 children, my 2 grandsons & 1 delightful granddaughter. (Hubby had 12 grands & 3 great-grands, too)
I enjoy sewing, quilting, smocking & embroidering clothing for them along with playing tennis for exercise and do throw an occasional dinner party just to keep my cooking skills from getting too rusty!
I hope your creativity will be nurtured here.
